Goat Island Road, which was severely damaged during weather events earlier this year, is expected to be repaired by the end of next month.
Downer NZ has carried out a detailed investigation, and geotechnical investigations and design work has started. In the meantime, temporary remedial work is scheduled to happen this month.
Currently there is a one lane system working.
The temporary remedial works will allow two lanes of traffic to be re-established, but during the permanent works, traffic will revert to one lane at all times.
The cost of the project is still being determined.
